Summer freshmen are a special breed. They speak
with great optimism about their future at Penn State. A
summer glow from good times and good tans attests to
(heir hopeful outlook. •
"I chose Penn State because I like big schools," Nancy
McDonough (Ist-psychology), said.
Perhaps one University shopper said it even better: "I
liked the looks of the school when visiting," Jean Fenster
(Ist-division of undergraduate studies) said.
Optimistic but not naive about Penn State, Vanessa
' Weimer, (Ist-liberal arts) said, "I don't like the fact that
my parents will have to pay more for tuition this fall."
When asked about the difference between high school
and college, Scott Sieck (Ist-pre-law) said, "In college,
the student has more freedom to interact with different
types of people. His thinking becomes more liberal."
John Cienki (Ist-pre-medicine) said he liked the fact
t hat the University program is less structured and allows
for more self-pacing than in high school.
"Classes are more relaxed," John Grainda (Ist
communications) said.
Even though it is not mandatory to attend classes, Gay
Frankenfield (Ist-art) said, "I take my courses more
seriously up here than I did in high school. I guess the
reminder of job competition is in the back of my mind."
On the academics 'complaint list, Sieck said, "Class
participation is really poor."
David ' Minkoff (Ist-marketing), explained this
classroom phenomenon. "I don't know too many people
who have the guts to interrupt the professor during lec
tures in larger classes," he said.
Comments were favorable on the subject of dormitory
living.
"I've met a lot of people here. It's a good situation when
you're beginning at a large school," Karen Wisniewski
(Ist-pre-law) said.
According to one freshman, the move to a large campus
affords people the opportunity to completely change their
personalities.

Rights issue 'irrelevant to S. Korea'
WASHINGTON (UPI) South Korea's President Park
Chung Hee says he will not free political prisoners to please
the United States and considers "the human rights issue"
irrelevant to his country, a congressional report said
y,:psterday.
mln a recent interview with visiting members of Congress, the
report said, Park justified his repressive regime on national
gcurity grounds and said prospective U.S. troop withdrawals
have "added to the threat of instability" he is trying to control.
A congressional delegation led by Rep. Lester Wolff, D-
N.Y., conferred with Park for two hours during a two-day visit
in April and questioned him about the human rights situation
in Korea, where many of his opponents have been.jailed.
"President Park responded by acknowledging the existence
of the human rights issue, but said that he considered it
eargely the result of negative press coverage and the efforts of
4 combination of questionable Korean refugee organizations
in the United States," the report said.

"Everybody is in the same boat. They all have to meet
new people. The atmosphere at Penn State is friendly,
and I was really surprised that upperclassmen would be
outgoing. I thought maybe there would be some strange
initiation rules where freshmen have to wear beanie caps
or something," Grainda said.

"He then denied that the human rights issue was relevant to
his country."
It said Park maintained his "paramount concern was the
survival of his country and that talk of a U.S. troop withdrawal
had already created considerable uncertainty, and hence
added to the threat of instability."
The members of Congress said Park claimed "the vast
majority of his people support him" because they fear North
Korea and appreciate the improved economic conditions he
has brought
As for freeing political prisoners, it said Park "appreciated
the possibility of improving his image in the United States by
more lenient policies, but he was not-prepared to release
certain prisoners for fear of creating a precedent, or con
vincing opponents that pressure would force him to act."

Relations Committee employee, met separately with Korean
dissidents and political opposition members during the visit.

once inside the dormitories of East Halls, a familiar
paranoia haunts the corridors
"Darn it ... . this girl's phone is busy and I need an
escort to the fourth floor uh, you wouldn't mind Tiding
the elevator up with me," one freshman asks a girl in
Curtin Hall. Yep, those CIA rules still exist.
If you ever want company any hour of the day or night,
the dormitory bathrooms and laundry rooms are the
places to go.
To the question of what do you think of sharing a
bathroom with 55 other girls, one interviewee said, "I
could swear half of the kids on the floor never go to the
bathroom. There's hardly anybody there."
"The bathrooms never get crowded," another in
terviewee from Stone Hall said.
There is still dutiful enthusiasm in doing one's laundry
during first term. "I just hope my old lady gave me the
right set of directions," said Bernie Minakowski (Ist
biology).
Of the freshmen interviewed, the majority of them fall
in the "eat to live" category rather than the "live to eat"
group. -
"There's more than enough gravy, potatoes and
starches . . . enough to give you indigestion," one girl
said about dining hall food.
"I'm a non-meat eater but the cafeteria hardly serves
enough protein for that type of diet," Scott Woolford (Ist
business administration) said.
Certain diversions seem to attract freshmen like honey
draws the bear. You can be sure to always find someone
plugging away at pinball in the FUB snack bar.
"Pinball is just something I do because I'm not into
intramurals. Plus, someone took the pool cue out and the
dorms had nothing going tonight," a freshman said.
In the downstairs TV room of an East Hall dorm, Cary
Lubkin (Ist-pre-medicine) said, "Work's not harder than
in high school. TV is just something I do once in a while."
"Do you want to know what I think of the campus
overall?" Minkoff asked. "It's beautiful . . . walking to
classes in the morning with the arched trees overhead,
the surrounding mountains, and being on your own."
